The United States, Mexico, Jamaica and Costa Rica have officially announced a joint bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup — a landmark proposal that would bring the tournament to four countries across North and Central America and the Caribbean for the first time.

The four-nation bid was unveiled on Monday, with officials confirming that the formal bid book and supporting documentation will be submitted to FIFA in November 2025. The world governing body is expected to make its final decision at the FIFA Congress in Vancouver on 30 April 2026.

If successful, the bid would mark the first Women’s World Cup to be hosted by multiple confederations — the United States and Mexico representing CONCACAF’s North American zone, and Jamaica and Costa Rica from the Caribbean and Central America respectively.

The United States, a two-time Women’s World Cup host (1999 and 2003), would bring extensive experience in staging major football events, including the upcoming men’s 2026 World Cup it will co-host with Mexico and Canada. For Mexico, this would be its first time hosting the women’s tournament, while Jamaica and Costa Rica would become the first Caribbean and Central American nations to do so.

The proposed bid is expected to highlight a vision of continental unity and inclusion, with organisers promising to build on the growing popularity of women’s football across the Americas.

FIFA’s selection process will begin in 2026, with site visits, infrastructure assessments and compliance checks before the final host announcement.

The 2027 Women’s World Cup will be hosted by Brazil, the first South American nation to stage the tournament.
